The next day Naruto walked into the accademy class and went to the back row and sat down. He looked around the rest of the class and saw everyone there but Sakura. He saw Ino sitting beside Sasuke. Just then Sakura walked in and she looked like she had bags under her eyes and she sat down in an empty chair and Naruto raised an eyebrow as everyone else looked curious.
Ino said "Hey forehead, whats wrong with you. You finally giving up on Sasuke-kun."
Sakura looked at her and said "No, unlike you who only worries about her beauty I was actually training most of the night and preparing since I figured our new sensei are going to be testing us tomorrow to see how good we are since today is basically a meet and greet. That way when everyone is up tonight trying to get last minute practices in and getting thier stuff ready I will already be done and getting a nice night of sleep since I already know whose team I am going to be on."
Ino asked "Oh yeah, who and how do you know."
Sakura said "Simple piggy, your the next generation of Inoshikacho so your teams already decided and then we have 3 people who are tracking experts in our class because of thier clan so that means Kiba, Shino and Hinata are going to be a team and that leaves just Naruto, me and Sasuke-kun. Sucks to be from a famous clan so have fun with Sasuke-kun for now because hes all mine later, piggy." with a smirk.
Ino paled and said "No, that can't be right."
Naruto sweatdropped and thought "well, she took the info I gave her and finally beat Ino. Hmm, Rins going to love hearing Ino rant the rest of the day. Perhaps I should check on my network today instead of this weekend...at least until the fireworks end."
Just then Iruka walked in said "Settle down class." as he looked around the room and saw a pale Ino sitting by Sasuke and a smirking tired Sakura in the corner and Iruka shot his eyes at Naruto who held his hands up and mouthed "wasn't me this time."
Iruka frowned and said "Now I want to tell you all how proud I am of your accomplishments and I know that you are even more skilled then you let on." giving a pointed glare to everyone but more to Naruto who thought "jeese, make him a godfather and lie to him as long as you know him and he gives you the fifth degree."
Iruka saw everyone paying attention and he notice a frowning Shikamaru and thought "perhaps I misjudged 2 students." and he continued "Now allow me to tell you what teams your on...team 7 will be Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke."
Ino hit her head against the desk and Naruto said "Hey Sasuke, you hear that. Since Sakura said shes actually taking her training serious that means the threat of your fangirls is going to increase because you know the old saying, monkey see monkey do."
Iruka face planted in the floor and Iruka said "Naruto, can you act your age."
Naruto looked at him with a deadpan expression and asked "Are you sure you REALLY want me to act my age. I mean..."
Iruka paled and said "Never mind. Just don't taunt your step-s...I mean..."
Naruto said "Don't taunt my stepping stone. Your right, when I surpase Sasuke and everyone else who stands in my way to my dream then they will have to look up at me and tell thier children, see that man. Thats the awesome, stupindious, fantastic, majestic, benevolent, strong, kind, carring, greatest..."
An eraser hit his head and Iruka said "Conceeded much." as everyone else snickers.
Sakura said "Well, looks like I was right Ino-pig, your with Shikamaru and Choji and Kiba, Shino and Hinata are all together."
Iruka said "Your actually right Sakura, how did you know."
Kiba said "She told Ino earlier how she was going to be the next generation of Inoshikacho group and then our team are all skilled for tracking."
Iruka said "Very insightful Sakura, how were you able to come up with that."
Sakura said "I figured it out when I was trying to figure out what team I was on. It randomly came to me that Ino father had her and the 2 boys spend all thier time together they could and bragged about the next Inoshikacho so I figured either the Hokage would want to have another group like them or thier dads would bribe someone to get on the same team."
Ino said "Its not fair. Forehead gets on Sasuke-kuns team because shes nothing."
Naruto growled and said "hey Ino, shut the hell up. Thats my teammate your talking about and I have you know that if shes nothing then what does that make you because she busted her ass off in class to be the number one female ninja in our class. I bet if she had some help from a clan like everyone but her then she could have been rookie of the year instead of Sasuke." making everyone look at him and Sakura was gaping.
A voice from the door said "Its very admirable that you would defend your teammates honor like that Uzukami-san. Its almost like your like her or something." as everyone turned and saw Kurenai and Rin who spoke.
Naruto said "Do my eyes decieve me or have 2 goddesses come from heaven to impart thier wisdom on mere mortals such as thee."
Both women blushed and Iruka shook his head and said "Better watch yourself Rin and Kurenai or you may get swept off your feet and taken to bed by Casanova up thier. After all he never took an interest in those of his own age, perhaps hes looking for a more mature woman."
Kurenai smirked as Naruto made himself blush as everyone in class was looking at them and snickering at Naruto.
Naruto thought "2 can play this game" and said "Perhaps I might. Would either of you 2 ladies like to accompany me to a romantic weekend of dancing and romancing. Of coarse I would have to clear it with my other lady love. I mean I wouldn't want to piss Sasuke mom off by not inviting her into the fun."
Sasuke glared at Naruto and Sakura screamed "Stop insulting Sasuke like that. You know his mothers dead."
Naruto smirked and Iruka shook his head and thought "all this time he really was banging Sasuke mom...and my teammates." and said "Alright settle down class. I assume you ladies are here to pick up your teams."
Rin said "Yeah we are. I am Rin Murasaki and I am the jounin instructor of team 10."
Kurenai said "I am Kurenai Yuuhi and I am the jounin instructor of team 8, would you please come with us."
Kiba said "Um, what team are we Iruka-sensei."
Iruka sweatdropped and said "Oh yeah, your team 8 Kiba and Ino your team is team 10. I guess I forgot to meantion that."
Rin said "Hey Iruka, your still upset about last night. I mean learning your a godfather is big news. Don't lose your head about it and know if you ever want to talk our doors are always open...unless were busy that is."
Iruka screamed "OUT, BOTH OF YOU, OUT. IT WAS BAD ENOUGH WHEN YOU BOTH HAD THAT MAKE OUT SESSION WHEN WE WERE A TEAM BUT NOW..."as he huffed.
Naruto blinked and blinked again and said "Make out session, you never told me about that ladies."
Everyone looked at him and Rin said "Just shut up and do it love."
Naruto sighed and said "Fine but your explaining it to Selen." ignoring the shocked looks and time rewound and as Iruka screamed "OUT, BOTH OF YOU OUT..." Rin moved and placed her hand over his mouth and said "Now theres the Iruka-kun that was our teammate. Cya and be sure to keep the next generation of troublemakers in line." as she walked away with thier teams following them.
Iruka sighed and said "Woman."
Naruto said "Wouldn't have them any other way, huh."
Iruka glared at him and said "Your teacher will be here shortly...I hope."
Naruto said "Who is our instructor anyways."
Iruka smirked and said "Figure it out yourself." as he left.
Naruto said "How rude. So...what do you both want to do."
Sakura frowned and looked at Sasuke and said "I am going to study." as she pulled out a scroll and began to read.
Naruto shrugged and walked to Iruka desk and put his feet on it and grabbed an eraser and put it on his forehead and closed his eyes and he had it start to float on his head.
Sasuke looked at him and asked "What are you doing dobe."
Naruto said "Its an excersice Iruka showed me a few years back to help with chakra control. Its originally was the leaf balancing but I learned if I use bigger and heaver things then it gets harder and harder and the more I have to concentrate to keep it balance and from falling. I learned to do it on my hands and feet as well."
Sakura looked at him and asked "Have you ever tried any other chakra excersices."
Naruto said "I saw someone running up and down a tree once when I was younger with chakra but I couldn't figure out how they did it." as he continued to do the excersice.
Sakura bit her lip and said "Hmm, if I were to guess I would say they channel chakra to thier feet."
Naruto said "Yeah, I figured that also but sometimes I blew off the tree and sometimes I didn't stick at all. I thought it might have been because I didn't have the right amount of chakra at the time but I didn't know how to control chakra back then very well so I decided to do this instead after I learned it until I thought I was ready."
Sakura nods and said "Hey Naruto, why do you insult Sasuke all the time."
Naruto let the eraser fall and he looked at Sakura with piercing eyes and said "I have my reasons. Why do you want to be a ninja if all your doing it for is to impress Sasuke. I mean why waste your life on a guy who doesn't even care for you or ANY of his fangirls."
Sakura became mad and said "Don't talk about Sasuke-kun that way."
Naruto said "And thats another thing. If Sasuke was so insulted by it why is it he lets you and the other girls stand up for him. Is it that when his family died he lost his balls."
A kunai flew at his head and Naruto shifted his head to the side and said "You missed." as he looked at Sasuke.
Sasuke 'hn' and looked out the window.
Naruto smirked and said "Be right back." as he got up and left the room.
A few minutes later Naruto walked back in with a bucket and he sat it down on Iruka desk and he pulled out a pair of green spandex and a wig and he said "Hey Sakura, Sasuke do either of you know anything about sealing."
Sasuke ignored Naruto and Sakura said "I know a little about unsealing stuff. Why."
Naruto said "Would you like to learn more. A friend taught me some sealing when I was younger and it comes in handy when you have to carry a large amount of stuff."
Sasuke said "Whatever dobe. I don't need you help." as he tried not to look interested.
Sakura thought "Kaze told me to get stronger and if I learned sealing I could keep my code book he told me to make in a scroll so no one could find it...should I though...yes. I want to get stronger." and said "Sure, why don't you show me what you can do." as she got up and walked over.
Naruto smiled and said "Great, I am going to show you a basic storage seal. All you got to do is draw a circle like this and then connect the primary outer seal to the the secondary inner seal like this" as he drew another circle in the middle of the first inside of the bucket before connecting them and he said "And then all you do is channel chakra into the seal like so." and the seal glowed for a few seconds and then it darkened in the bottom of the bucket.
Sakura asked "Is that it."
Naruto said "Well you see, when I activated it a moment ago it pulled the actual air around it inside of the seal. Now when I place an item on top of it, the item will then replace the air on the inside while the air comes back out...this is the most basic of the basic of sealing done. It good for storage of items but its got nearly no security value so don't do it for something valuable because anyone who can use chakra can make the item that is sealed inside of it come out. Sealing is WAY more complicated then this but it does come in handy and can save you a lot of money if you have the patience to learn it and it makes being a ninja easier because right now I say you carry only 1 set of each weapon and thats it on you. If you used this you could carry a scroll and carry easily a hundred times that and all you have to do is protect the scroll."
Sakura nods and Naruto walked over to the door and put the wig inside the bucket and it went inside the seal and he put the bucket over the top of it and facing down and he then began to draw another seal along the door frame and Sakura asked "What are you doing now Naruto."
Naruto said "Teaching our sensei never to be late." as he placed the green spandex suit against the seal and it disappeared into the seal and Naruto pulled out some tiny wire and ran the wire from the seal on the door frame to the bucket.
Naruto then walked back over and sat down with his feet on the desk and put the eraser on his head and had it begin to spin again.
At that moment across town the third Hokage was standing in a ruined apartment along with Kakashi and he said "What has happened here."
Kakashi said "It appears this apartment has been destroyed hundreds of times over sir by all the paint and damage done to the apartment. Its not recent, thats for sure."
The third said "Why has Naruto never told me about this. I don't understand."
Kakashi frowned and said "I don't think he lives here sir, or at least not anymore. When was the last time you came here or sent someone to check on him here."
The third thought a moment and his eyes got wide a moment and he looked down and said "I haven't been here since I gave him this apartment when he was 4. I...I guess I thought if he never came and complained everything was ok and I didn't want people to say I was playing favorites and giving more reason to hate him."
Kakashi eye got wide and said "Thats nearly 11 years. I trusted you would keep an eye on him which is why I never came by and checked on him."
The third sighed and said "I guess its because he never caused any trouble or anyone else causing trouble that he was involved in I thought things had changed."
Kakashi asked "Any idea where he is staying now."
The third said "No...after you meet your team today Kakashi, bring him to my office and we will both talk to him then, ok."
Kakashi nods and said "Well I guess I better get going."
The third nods and leaves in a swirl of leaves and Kakashi looked around the room one more time and he blinked and blinked again and thought "interesting, theres a hidden camera there. If it wasn't for the fact I have one just like it at my home I would never of noticed it. Hmm." as he walked over and grabbed the camera out of the airvent and left.
Kakashi appeared in his apartment and pulled out the tape and put it in his tape recorder and rewind the tape and hit play and he saw Naruto and he hit fast forward and watched as Naruto walked out of the room and he saw several villagers come in and destroy a few things and walk out and he then saw the third come in with himself and he thought "hmm, so he came by the apartment this morning based on the video time huh. Interesting." as he stopped the tape and returned the camera to the apartment. As he was prepapering to leave a villager walked in and said "Ah, Hatake Kakashi, come to look for the little demon also."
Kakashi frowned behind his mask and said "Perhaps, you wouldn't happen to know where he is would you."
The man said "Not really. He comes by here every morning around 7:30 and leaves within a few minutes. I keep coming in here to see what it is hes hiding here but haven't found anything that might tell where he actually is hiding or up to but I just know its evil."
Kakashi asked "What makes you say that. Has he done anything you have seen."
The man said "Well...no but I am sure he has. After all he is a demon."
Kakashi shook his head and said "Well I must be going. I got a team to go pick up." and thought "before I decide to hurt you idiot." as he shushined away.
When Kakashi arrived in the hall of the class he felt chakra being used inside and he took a look inside and saw Naruto who had an eraser floating on his head and was doing 1 handseals which suprised Kakashi and Kakashi pushed the door open and he heard a twang sound and he looked up just as a bucket fell on him and then he heard a puff sound and he reached for the bucket and pulled it off.
Inside the class Naruto had felt Kakashi arrive and thought "time to distract him." as he started 1 handsigns and he then heard the twang sound of the wire he connected falling and he quickly looked at Kakashi as he was covered in smoke.
As the smoke began to clear Naruto bit his lip and quicky henged himself into Gai and said "AH MY COOL HIP RIVAL, I SEE YOU HAVE FINALLY REALISED THE TRUTH OF THE FLAMES OF YOUTH FOR YOURSELF."as he held out his hand with a thumbs up.
Kakashi when he had pulled off the bucket realised his something was extremely wrong. He looked at himself in the glass of the door and his eyes got wide and screamed like a little girl before he fainted.
Naruto sweatdropped as he dropped the henge and said "Tell me hes not that sheepish."
A hand on his shoulder was his answer and Naruto stiffened for a moment and frowned and said "I see, you created a Kagebunshin and shushined to the backside of the room. I was so busy trying to distract you with my chakra flow doing handsigns that it masked yours." as he looked over his shoulder and saw Kakashi.
Kakashi said "Correct though I am suprised you realised it so quickly. My first impression is that you might have a future."
Naruto said "Maybe but that was just so I could show Sakura about seals. I may not be an expert but I do know about storage seals."
Kakashi nods and said "Normally I would say lets meet on the roof but I don't want to take the chance of another ambush."
Just then Naruto exploded and Kakashi was covered in green paint and laughing could be heard and everyone looked to the eraser on the floor whuch was covered in smoke and showed Naruto laying on the floor and said "I can't believe my decoy worked."
Kakashi frowned and said "What was that." as he looked at himself covered in green paint.
Naruto said "Mizubunshin Bakuha made out of paint instead of water. One of my own original jutsu...I think."
Kakashi nods and said "Well do you have any other suprises for me."
Naruto said "Not today. I got board waiting and when I get board its not healthy."
Kakashi nods and said "Well I will remember that. Anyways my name is Hatake Kakashi and I have likes and dislikes and I have dreams. Why don't you go next." pointing at Naruto.
Naruto shrugged and said "Theres not much to say about me. My name is Naruto. I believe true strength comes from protecting that which is precious. Living life like theres no tomorrow and those who follow the rules are trash but those who abandon thier comrads are worse then trash. I have hobbies and dreams and plans for the future but only those I trust learn those." as he sat down in a desk.
Kakashi eyes was wide and thought "hmm, well thats interesting." and said "Ok, you next pinky."
Sakura said "My name is Sakura Haruno and I...I want to become the first ninja in my family. I dislike those who don't believe in my dream and...I guess I want to show Sasuke-kun that I am the best choice for him."
Naruto thought "damn it. I thought I had almost broke her of her fangirls dreams already. Oh well, thats what tor...I mean trainings for." and Kakashi said "Alright, and lastly you Mr. Brooder."
Sasuke said "My name is Sasuke Uchiha and I don't have a dream but an ambition. To kill a certian someone and restore my clan."
Naruto shook his head and said "At what cost." making everyone look at him.
Kakashi asked "What was that Naruto."
Naruto shrugged and said "I just was wondering at what cost he was willing to go to kill this someone. I mean I want to know if he would kill an ally or betray the village if someone offer him a quicker way to do it."
Kakashi started to say something when Sasuke said "If it meant I could kill my brother quicker then yes dobe, I would."
Naruto shook his head and said "I see. Thank you for telling me." as he shook his head.
Kakashi frowned and thought "I was not expecting that and Naruto is totally different then his accademy records said." He then said "Anyways tomorrow meet me at Training ground 7 at 5 am for the real gennin exam."
Naruto asked "What do you mean real gennin exam."
Kakashi said "The test tomorrow has a 66 percent failure rate. Oh and before I forget, dont eat breakfast or you might throw it up. Cya." as he left in a swirl of leaves.
Naruto shrugged and walked out of the class and went to the roof and sat down and looked up at the sky and he said "You know, you can come out now."
A chuckle could be heard and Kakashi appeared and asked "So how did you know I was still there."
Naruto said "The cloak of invisibility was one of the first jutsu I learned before joining the accademy. Even at the speed you pulled it off I still saw the small ruffle effect it creates."
Kakashi nods and said "I am impressed, so tell me, what was that about back there between you and Sasuke."
Naruto said "Sasuke gets special treatment for his bloodline and because hes the so called last Uchiha and he treats others as if they are beneath him. Since the first day of school he acts like he can do anything without consequences. I am the only person in this accademy who would even dare to bad mouth him over it. In fact I can tell that hes getting special treatment right now. I mean why else would he get the great Sharingan Kakashi then someone wanting you to pamper him even more."
Kakashi frowned and asked "How do you know about my Sharingan."
Naruto shrugged and said "Bingo book. When I get board I look at the bingo book and see what jutsu they list for people and try to figure out some way to create them myself or my own version."
Kakashi nods and asked "And how many do you have."
Naruto said "Some. I really don't know how many I have actually recreated or created new."
Kakashi said "Still at your age to do something like that is amazing. How come your accademy records don't show your amazing skills."
Naruto said "People hate me for some reason. Why, who can say. Perhaps I pissed in the firelords face as a infant or something."
Kakashi frowned and said "I see. Well the Hokage was wanting to speak to you."
Naruto said "Sure, lets go." as he stood up and began to walk away.
Kakashi put his hand on Naruto shoulder and said "This will be quicker." as he shushined both of them to the Hokage office.
When they arrived Kakashi pulled out his book and Naruto pulled one out as well but his was a novel and the third said "Ah Naruto, so glad you could come."
Naruto not looking up said "Hmm, you say something."
Kakashi dropped his book for a moment but caught it in the air and looked at Naruto.
The third ignored the remark and said "Yes I did. I was wondering if you would tell me what has happened to your apartment."
Naruto blinked and closed his book and asked "Apartment, what apartment."
The third said "The one I gave you when you were 4."
Naruto looked in thought a moment and said "oh yeah, the one people broke into and destroyed before I ever slept a single night in it. I had forgot all about it. Why."
The third asked "Naruto, why did you not tell me about your apartment being broken into."
Naruto shrugged and said "What good would it have done. I mean for whatever reason people hate me, they wouldn't have stopped if I told you so I just went and got me a place myself."
The third asked "And how did you get yourself a place if I may ask."
Naruto said "When you don't have a choice you find ways. What does it matter, the past is the past though I am suprised it took you what...nearly 11 years to find out that I didn't live there."
The third sighed and Kakashi thought "hmm, what are you playing at Naruto." as the third said "Naruto, I can't know everything that happens in the village unless people come tell me since I can't be here and there all the time."
Naruto said "I understand. I am not important enough to check up on. I figured that out a long time ago. So is that all you wanted to talk to me about."
The third said "No. I would like to know where you live Naruto."
Naruto said "And I would like to know who my parents are and why I am hated. I guess going this long without knowing isn't going to change my life so why would me telling you where I live change yours. It won't besides letting the people who destroyed that apartment going and finding my home and destroying it also for whatever reason so why should I tell you."
The third frowned and said "Naruto, why are you talking to me like this. Its not like you."
Naruto asked "And how would you know what I am like. I mean its been 11 YEARS. How do you know what I am like in all that time."
The third looked down and said "Your right. How would I know what your like. It appears that I have failed in that regaurd."
Naruto said "Perhaps or perhaps you just need to show me some trust. You and I both know that we are both hiding things. Its supply and demand. You want answers, I want answers. Since its my life were talking about how about you give me something and I give you something or are you really not interested in me."
The third frowned and looked at Kakashi who was looking at Naruto and the third said "The day you were born the Kyuubi was attacking Konoha. The Yondaime Hokage did die defeating the Kyuubi but he couldn't kill it so he..."
Naruto said "Sealed it inside me by summoning the Shinigami. Now was that so hard to admit that." shocking both men.
The third asked "How did you know that Naruto."
Naruto snorts and said "I have known since I was 4 after the villagers attacked me. Now as promised I will tell you something but if one person outside of this office repeats it or you make another grand village announcement I will leave this village forever. This is my life were talking about and I be damn if I let you or anyone else ruin what little bit of happiness I have right now so do you agree both of you."
The third who was shocked still said "Yes." and Kakashi nods and Naruto said "I know Jiraiya is my godfather and also my grandfather." and both men got wide eyed and the third said "Really, I find that hard to believe."
Naruto said "Its true. He had a fiance named Iris Pory who was captured by enemy ninja and she was pregnant with his child and they gave her the choice to marry the leader of Whirlpool country or die so to save her unborn childs life she agreed and low and behold Kushina Uzumaki, my mother came to be."
The third asked "Do you know who your father was Naruto."
Naruto said "Perhaps but if you want to know then your going to have to give me something else now. Remember give and take."
The third frowned and said "No, thats all for now. Will you tell me where you live at now."
Naruto said "give and take. You chose to be out of my life for the last 11 years so if you want back in then your going to have to earn it and if I find out either of you told Jiraiya about me knowing about his connection to me I will carry out my threat and leave. I don't want pity or guilt. If he wants in my life then hes going to have to earn it like my 2 other blood living relatives."
The third and Kakashi eyes got wide at that and the third said "You have more then 1 blood relation left."
Naruto said "Yes. 1 that has been in my life some over the past 11 years and is actually pretty close to you and another who doesn't know hes related to me."
The third frowned and asked "Are you sure this person who claimed you related to them is actually related to you Naruto."
Naruto snorts and said "Oh yeah. I have seen the blood test as well as other things that proved I am. Its your call, tell me who my father was and I tell you who my other living relatives are. Thats all I will reveal them for."
Kakashi asked "What was the video camera in your old apartment for Naruto."
Naruto smirked and said "This very thing right here. I wanted to be able to say like I can now with absolute proof if the third had ever bothered to be in my life after he got me my apartment. I placed it there and go back there every day changing out the tapes and I go home at nights and check them real quick to see if he showed up once which he didn't. I thought the third was different then the villagers who hated me for the Kyuubi and I agree that he is but now after all this time I wonder if he sees me as Naruto or the last request of the Yondaime."
Kakashi frowned and said "I don't think thats fair of..."
Naruto said "Fair, let me tell you fair. I walk into nearly any store in this village and I have to pay 3 times the regular price if I am lucky and that is if it is just outdated. I have to see people looking at me with hate in thier eyes every time I turn around. I have nightmares remembering the times I have been attacked like these." as Naruto raised his shirt with his back away from both men showing all the wounds on him shocking both men especially the wound from Sasuke Chidori and the Raijin. Naruto then pulled down his shirt and said "Now tell me whats fair. As a civilian I have more scars then a seasoned jounin so tell me one reason I should be fair. Because I am alive. Well guess what, its not from people trying to let me live."
Both men looked down and the third said "Your father was Minato Namikaze."
Naruto said "I know. I just wanted you to admit it. Now you want to know what the kicker is. Minato Namikaze was the child of my grandmother who is still alive and Sakumo Hatake." making Kakashi wide eyed.
Naruto smirked and said "Thats right Uncle Kakashi, your sensei was your half brother though neither of you knew it. In fact the only 2 people who were alive to know it were my grandmother and Jiraiya. I won't tell who my grandmother is just yet though because she wants to tell you Sandaime herself. As for you being my uncle like Jiraiya your going to have to earn my trust so I won't publically claim you yet and you won't claim me until then. I don't want special treatment or pity or guilt or anything like that. I just want to earn your respect and you earn mine and then go from there, and one more thing. My last name is not Uzumaki any longer. I had it legally changed when I was nearly 8 but I won't tell you what it is until granny gets here sometime between now and the chunnin exams. Well I got to get home so cya." as Naruto threw a smokebomb and phased away.
After he was gone both men looked at each other and the third asked "What just happened."
Kakashi said "I...I don't know...could he be telling the truth."
The third said "I don't know. It might be possible but the only way to find out for sure is to ask his grandmother. For now do as he asked. He doesn't want special treatment or guilt or pity."
Kakashi nods and said "Right. Well I guess I will go. I got a lot to think about." as he shushined away.
The third frowned and thought "He played me all along durring that conversation. He had everything already, he just wanted me to admit it."
A voice said "Quite a little spit fighter you had thier huh." as the third looked up and saw Kaze.
The third nods and Kaze said "Relax, the kids doing fine and hes known for a while about everything so hes not going to run his mouth. He just wanted to show you that hes not the weak, gullible idiot people patray him as."
The third asked "And how do you know that Kaze."
Kaze chuckled and said "Who do you think hooked him up with his grandmother in the first place." making the thirds eyes got wide.
The third started to say something when Kaze said "Relax. Like Naruto she needed closure in her life over the lose of her son and now both are stronger for it. It wasn't fair of you to keep a secret like those away from him for so long. Do you have any idea how many times people told him his parents abandoned him or that he was just a spawn of hell or any number of other things. Had I not stepped in odds are he would have killed himself from depression and then it would have been how much longer before you found out."
The third said "You should have told me."
Kaze asked "Why. Why should I have ruined his happiness. If I had told you then you would have told the village or the council and then his happiness would have been taken from him. Do you honestly see him as Naruto or do you see him as the Yondaimes last request like he asked."
The third frowned and said "I see your point."
Kaze shrugged and said "Well its about time you started opening your eyes. Troubling times are coming and you need to get ready."
The third asked "What do you mean."
Kaze frowned and said "Only rumors but Orochimaru is up to something big. What it is I am not for sure yet but keep a heads up. I got to go now. Cya." as he phased away.
The third sighed and said "I'm getting to old for this."
At the memorial stone Kakashi was looking at the names and thought "could you really have been my half brother sensei and if so does that mean Naruto my nephew."
